The problem is with the code signing certificate. That is, we don't have a
project wide one (I'm working on that) and that the personal certainly that
we've used in the past have expired and people are working on getting
theirs renewed as well. There's been some talk of releasing it unsigned to
get it out there but no decision has been made yet.
Releasing it unsigned means you'll get prompted during the install that it
comes from an unknown publisher, and maybe something else? I don't run
Windows so I'm not sure on the specifics. If that's acceptable to most
then we can go ahead and do that, but we might have to tweak the build
system a but to make that possible but that's not a big deal.
Thanks for the info Gary. In Windows you would indeed get an "Untrusted application" warning, probably during install. That might be confusing/concerning to users who arent used to seeing it for pidgin. Probably best to wait until a cert is in place.
In the mean time, I'll just cross-compile my own copy.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Unfortunately not yet. The org cert is taking WAAAAAY longer than
expected. I've been hesitant to apply for a personal cert, but I might
just go that route, but that's still going to be a fair amount of time to
get. But at this rate, might be sooner.
Hi. Anybody compiling 2.13.x for windows ?
Wondering about this too. Is there a problem compiling this release for Windows?
